Great Holiday Give Grab Bag 'O Fun

I'm back (barely) today with news of lots of good things.... for one, the last Great Monday Give of the year will be a Great Holiday Give... namely a great, big grab box of fun.... I'll be giving you hints as to what will be in the give box over the next week or so, but just know that it will be at least ten titles of awesomeness (and probably more) of new vintage, well-loved vintage and otherwise. To be entered to win this box 'o fun, simply comment on this post before 11:59 PM on Sunday, December 12. A winner will be selected the next day and announced ASAP.

Tomorrow I'll be back with a holiday-themed review, but in the meantime, check out an interview I did with Books For Your Kids, the blog of the awesome Tanya, a book-loving momma and bookseller who is passing the love along, one post at a time. Her site is a great resource for children's books new and old, so be sure and have a look.

Be aware, too, that I'm extending the $3 flat rate shipping in the Etsy shop for at least another week. I thought I'd have more things up by now, but alas, Thanksgiving swallowed me alive. Also, if you are planning on shopping at Amazon this Cyber Monday or anytime in the future, be sure and click to it through my site (here or through the ads in the sidebar) and a small portion of anything you purchase (books, electronics, toys, etc.) will go to VKBMKLs to be used for buying more books for further review!

You know . . . I can't remember exactly how I stumbled on your blog (months ago), but I'm so glad I did! Some many of the books you've featured were faves of mine as a kid! (Especially anything James Flora!) Always something fun & nostalgic! :-) Thanks for the chance at the give away!

Yay! Another giveaway! PLEEEEEAASSSSSE enter me into this awesome looking box of surprises. I recognize some of those illustrators above, and I HOPE that some of those will be in the box for whoever (me?) gets it.

I would love the grab bag! I was a regular reader of your blog until life caught up with me this past June, and now I have just finished catching up on all the posts I missed. I had a great time :) I have also _finally_ gotten smart and quit trying to rememebr the authors you feature here and am making a list to take to the library. I am *so* tired of reading really awful children's books to my 3yo. Anyway, thanks :)

I found your blog a few months ago (shortly after I began my own), and I've enjoyed your recommendations. Some I'm quite familiar with, and others have been difficult for me to get my hands on. That's why I'm eagerly waiting the announcement of your grab bag winner!

OH!! I have missed on tons of fun, and been out of commission myself for the last... two months. Would love to have a chance at the grab bag. Would be a wonderfully exciting thing for my 5 kidlets. Hope you are well!!! Blessings!!

Thanks for all of the work that you put into this blog. I have a blog of my own and I know how much time can go into a posting. You always feature such wonderful books, you've turned me on to quite a few I didn't know about!

Hooray for holidays! Not sure how you'll pick the winner this time, but since I've won one before a while back, I'm entering on the chance that I can win a bag of books for my precious nieces for Christmas without breaking our bank. Thanks for the chance!

I've been enjoying your blog as I start stocking the library for our son who will be born in February... I'd saved my own books for years and years, but unfortunately they were stored on the first floor of our New Orleans home when Katrina flooded the levees. So I'm starting over, and have had some great reminders and suggestions from your blog! Thanks!
